Book Review: The Maid’s Best Kept Secret by Abby Green

The Maid’s Best Kept Secret is written by Abby Green and published by M&B Modern. Maggie Taggart is a shy chef, currently working as a housekeeper until a replacement can be found due to her mother’s death. As a consequence of her rich father’s rejection, she feels immune to the draw of rich handsome men. She then meets Nikos Marchetti.  She falls for him and consequently has his baby son. When Nikos discovers he has a baby he is determined to claim them both. 

The one night with consequences is a storyline that has been done, with varying degrees of success, many times.  This time the story is well paced, not rushed and doesn’t drag and is well thought out. Although the characters do jet around Europe there is little background description. The focus is firmly placed on the characters and how they interact and develop. I think I would have liked a little more description about where they stayed etc as this can also pique the readers’ interest. I enjoyed this book but I don’t think I would rush to reread it.  


I received this book via Netgalley and Mills and Boon in exchange for a honest review. I am a #MillsAndBoonInsider #netgalley
